Funny how things happen.
On February 12, 2013 I found out that I am pregnant again.
This will be the third time in about 4 years.
I don't know if you remember, but the first 2 of the 3 that I'm speaking about ended tragically, so I was pretty anxious finding out about this one.
I have since had 2 ultra sounds. The first showed a baby with a beating heart and the second was even more amazing. It showed not only a baby with a strong heartbeat (161 bpm), but a healthy, very active little one growing and developing normally. What a miracle!!!
I am still a little nervous, considering I'm 43 years old and things haven't gone so well in the recent past, but I'm trusting the Lord in it all.
I feel absolutely horrible...Praise the Lord!!!
Why would I praise the Lord for that?
Feeling horrible is a good sign. It's a sign that my hormone levels are elevated and that the baby is still growing. So that is definitely something to praise Him for!! :)
I will be under very strict care throughout the pregnancy.
There will be ultrasounds ever 4-6 weeks, tests done, etc to make sure that the baby continues growing as he/she should. My next ultrasound is May 6th in which there is a very good chance that I can find out the sex of the baby...WootWoot!! :)
I'm looking forward to going on this journey with my baby; being able to see him/her every month, watching as he/she progresses. I've never been able to do that before. It's like getting to know my baby even before I see him/her in person. :)
I'm also excited to be able to share this experience with my husband especially my 3 girls. They came with me for the 2nd ultrasound and were completely in awe. They can't wait to go back in a few weeks to see the baby again.
We were all able to witness the baby bouncing, literally, in my womb, kicking those little legs, and waving the little arms. We were also able to hear the sound of the baby's heartbeat...oh, that beautiful sound.
This is going to be a grand adventure and I invite you to join us as we journey together.
I do have one request; that you would please remember to keep me, the baby, and my entire family in your prayers throughout our journey.
Until next time... <3 p="">
